Fake Atari 8-bit carts!

[video61]

i certainly agree that anyone can make a fake proto type, and that there are many floating around, what other dealers do is something that is beyond my control.

how many e-proms did i get per title? it varied by as little as only one on many games.

i do not sell proto's, and never would sell my originals(unless forced to). if you check my site i do not list any title as a prototype, and i sell them with a label that i would like to see done if i was the buyer, and they are the same price as my regular stock.

also it is not as cheap as many imagine, boards, and shells, and e-proms do not come cheap especially if it is a banked game.

seaquest was never done for the 8-bit, i wished that freeway, and fishing derby would have also been done,

thanks,

I think 75% is bit high. There are tons fake protos floating around especially from "You Know Who", but if you know what your looking for it's easy to spot a fake. This is one reason I like collecting protos with EPROM covers (coverless EPROMs make me nervous) and why I like WIP protos.

 

Just because it's on an Atari proto board doesn't mean a thing. Fake labels are also easy to spot if you look for the proper signs.
